Today (2 september 2014) is the birth anniversary of Sadhana, the heart throb of millions of movie watchers in 1960s.

A few of her movies that were started in late 1960s had to be held in abeyance because Sadhana suffered from an ailment that affected her face. This, plus the fact that time and tide waits for none, meant that she was a pale shadow of her earlier self when she returned back after getting healed. Time had passed her by in the interim. Shooting of a few of her incomplete movies were resumed but it was too late by that time and these movies failed at the box office.

In our high school curriculum, we had Hindi Padhya (Poetry) in which, among others, poems of Meerabai, Tulsidas, Kabirdas, Surdas, Raskhan were taught to us. While most of the poems were in the praise of Lord Ram and Krishna, poems of Sant Kabirdas were not addressed to any specific God. I had heard the word ‘nirgun’ from my teacher in regard to the poems of Sant Kabirdas, I did not know the meaning of ‘nirgun’ in wider sense until few years back. Some of Dohas (two liners) have still remained in my memory. One of those which often come to my mind is:

I have never met Atul, he is not even my Facebook friend! But over the past few years I feel I have known him for a very long time. I know him as a very kind and gracious person who not only posted a few of my guest posts on his blog but was even very, very generous with his comments on my blog which has nothing to do with film songs. Maybe the reason for this is that we both grew up in middle class households in the same era, and that too within 130 km of each other (he in Ranchi and I in Jamshedpur, both small towns)

Genius of Jaidev

The twelfth gem in the series of ‘Genius of Jaidev’ is from a 1978 film ‘Tumhare Liye, based on the tale of lost love, sacrifice and reincarnation. Produced by Raj Tilak and directed by Basu Chaterjee, it had lyrics by Naqsh Layalpuri and music by Jaidev. The star cast included Ashok Kumar, Sanjeev Kumar, Vidya Sinha, Neelam Mehra, Indrani Mukherjee, Anita Guha, Brahm Bharadwaj, Suresh Chatwal, A K Hangal, Dinesh Hingoo, Pinchoo Kapoor, Ratnamala, Zarina Wahab, Om Shivpuri etc. In spite of the mighty cast of that time, the film flopped at the box office and the excellent music of Jaidev went mostly unnoticed except of a Lata’s song ‘Tumhe dekhati hun to lagta hai’. Two songs from the film are already covered and discussed on this Blog.

So continuing in my line of light hearted romantic songs here is one more. Now this one is from the 1978 Dharmendra- Hema Malini – Prem Chopra starrer “Azaad”. This song is in the voice of Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar. It has music by RDB and the songs were written by Anand Bakshi. That means the songs from this movie were all great on the ear. What more does one expect when AB and RDB collaborate?

“Dillagi” (1978) was directed by Basu Chatterji. It was a romantic comedy which I had not liked during its time when I watched this movie. Perhaps I was too young for a movie on this topic at that time. 🙂 The movie had Dharmendra, Hema Malini, Mithu Mukherji, Deven Verma, Asrani, Preeti Ganguly, Keshto Mukherji, Shatrughan Sinha etc in it.
